Friday Night Food Fun: Kushi (and Kelly's Irish Times Pub) in DC

Adam and I went Kushi on Friday night, with two other friends. It was expensive and in DC, so it doesn't count as a Brigade outing, but it was delicious and fun, so it counts as an eating adventure. Adam really likes this place. He wrote a review for the Georgetown paper, and then bought another Groupon to go back.

Adam and Owen are happy because they just had a lot of delicious food.

We forgot about taking pictures until the very end of the meal, which is a shame, because our table was packed with some lovely food. We had sashimi and sushi rolls, grilled vegetables, squid, a meatball on a stick, and pork belly in almost every possible iteration. And after we finished the first orders of pork belly, we ordered more.

Our food outings almost never involve dessert, but Kushi was an exception. Mochi trio and sea salt gelato? Yes, please. I'm a big fan of sweet and savory in desserts.  There was also a wasabi gelato that I didn't get to try... Next time!

Green tea, mango, and vanilla.

Our evening continued apace with several sweet tea vodkas at Sign of the Whale, and ended at Kelly's Irish Pub near Union Station. Despite our pricey, wonderful dinner, there was something on the menu that we couldn't resist: tater tots. Covered with cheese and bacon. And served with sour cream. I have a special place in my heart for deep fried things covered in cheese and bacon.

Several drinks into the evening, we are very excited about tater tots.

Up next: our trip to Urban BBQ in Rockville!
